At least that was what I was told in an e-mail after the weekend tournament, by another parent about her kid. I got an e-mail that started by saying they don't like drama and don't really throw fits about playing time. Then procceded to tell me how the
3rd baseman made many, many mistakes and guarenteed me her daughter would not have made any mistakes. BTW this is 12-U, there were some mistakes made BY EVERY PLAYER ON THE FIELD, at times. 35 innings this weekend, her daughter got to see a few at 3rd and did fine. Don't want to give to much info, however there are some attitude issues with her daughter. We plan to keep working her in a little at a time and keep checking the attitude. I dont like to reward condescendingly cordial letters like this or attitudes that change with the line up. The player has not mentioned a word to me, and is the youngest on the team. I feel if I give more time now it will be for the wrong reasons, but I still want to give her a fair shake. This letter ticks me off. What would you do?
Thanks,
Mike
